Truck Accidents

The massive size and weight of trucks create a serious danger to others sharing the road with them. Many trucks weigh approximately 80,000 pounds, limiting their maneuverability and increasing their stop time. These factors often lead to catastrophic, life-altering injuries for drivers and passengers of other vehicles involved in a truck accident.

The majority of truck accidents are the result of negligence by the trucking company, truck driver, or truck manufacturer. Many of these accidents could have been avoided if truck drivers and trucking companies made safety a greater priority.

Common causes of truck accidents include:

• Lack of proper truck driver training
• Poorly maintained trucks
• Truck driver fatigue
• Unbalanced truck loads
• Unrealistic schedules that place pressure on truck drivers to exceed the federally mandated hours of service limitations
• Aggressive or reckless driving by a truck driver
• Overloaded trucks
• Drug and alcohol use by the truck driver during a shift

Truck accident cases are much more complicated than claims involving car accidents or motorcycle accidents. There are a multitude of state and federal laws which govern the trucking industry.

In addition, it is much more difficult to prove fault in a truck accident case. Depending on the circumstances of your accident, one or more of the following parties may be responsible:
